i and 2.

After the score ormemorandum has been recorded, the member 5 1s raised and allowed to drop downwardly in the member 1 into the position shown in dotted lines on Figuresl and2.

In this latter osition the device forms noobstruction for the upper surface of the table As above described, the upper edge of the tongue 7 is bent slightly inwardly, and this is-also true of the lower edge of the tongue 11.

The purpose of so forming tongues 7' and 11 is so that there may be no possibility of such tongues catching on the edges of the slot 3 when the member 5 is moved therein, and to facilitate such 1novement,'I also prefer to have the outer edge of the slot 3beveled as indicated at Z) on Figure 2.

So that'the sheets from the pad 8 may be easily removed as the same are filled with indicia, and also sothat ther'eanay be no possibility of the pad 8 becoming loosened, with respect to tongues T and 11, I prefer to have pad 8 scored at c and cli adjacentthe edges ofthe tongues 7 and 11. v

The different parts of my device may be made of metal or otherappropriate material, and'the size of the same maybe varied toaccommodate different sizes of score or memorandum pads for it willbe understood that although I have here shown and described a specific structure and form and relationof the parts thereof as an eneinplification of an embodiment of my invention, I do not desire to restrict myself to theexactsirie, shape .or relation of parts, as various changes maybe made within the scope of the appended claims. 1
